More about Royal Burgundy Barberry...

Noteworthy Characteristics

Royal Burgundy Barberry is the best of the dwarf red-leaved barberry varieties. The velvety reddish purple foliage is truly outstanding in the landscape and holds its color very well throughout the warm season until fall, when the foliage color changes to a blackish-red color. It is a strong grower maturing to about 2-3' in height with an equal or slightly wider spread.

Uses

We like planting Royal Burgundy in mass and combined with other plants that have golden, blue, grey or light green foliage. Plant that produce brightly colored yellow, orange, pink or white flowers are also excellent companions. Useful in small to large groupings, shrub borders, mass plantings, home foundation plantings, erosion control on slopes and embankments, and in rock and Xeriscape gardens.

Culture & Care Tips

Plant Royal Burgundy Barberry in fertile, well-drained soils. Consistently wet soils will cause problems with the roots. Exceptionally drought tolerant when established. It will tolerate some shade but the best foliage color is achieved in full sun.

although my original order never arrived I was very pleased after contacting Gardner Direct they upgraded my order and it arrived within 1 week. Was very pleased with the plants and would order from them again.
